av watch loads of your vid's like the way you explain every bit of the job bit by bit nice one 10/10

[@beko1987]

Awesome, thanks!

[@ryanmenke9554]

You can put the comutator on your cordless drill other end in vise and use 2500 sand paper and clean it up. Make sure you use a small pick and clean out the in between the commutagor winds to keep it cool.

[@bobo-hb5on]

Great video, it fixed my problem, I misplaced the small spacer washer under the fan blade which caused it not to spin as free as it should. The last motor you pulled apart has the same problem as mine, 1 long brush and 1 short brush and armature blackened. What the problem is, is the short brush has come to the end of its free movement, the copper wire inside the brush spring is preventing the brush making contact with the armature and creating arcing and sparking.

[@orchidhouse297]

Fascinating. Back in the day, if a starter motor started throwing sparks like that it was usually because the carbon brush was not in contact. The very tiny air gap was enough to create sparks carried around on the commutator. A new brush usually fixed it.

[@abcars2856]

I have dyson DC08 with this same ydk motor it’s creating spark and one of the carbon brush is lower then the other

[@fuzz11111111]

Thanks so much for this, though as a PSA for others - the thread for the nut holding the turbine to the motor is not always reverse threaded (such was the case with the ydk yv-16k24fa fitted to my DC39). When turned in the right direction is actually gets lose enough to turn with your fingers quite quickly so if this isn't happening, try the other direction. Anyway in my case the vacuum sounded horrible and the motor got very hot in use, I suspected the motor bearings were the issue, and I'd previously taken the vacuum apart and tried to lubricate the bearings without taking motor apart, but getting anything to the one on the turbine side is almost impossible. Thanks to this video I was able to take it apart enough to get to that bearing, and it actually took a single spray of WD40 to free it up massively (though I did keep spraying to clean it out as best I could, then lube it up with silicon lube). My vacuum is going much better now (and doesnt sound like its about to die).

[@jlmacd]

Thank you for this video. I have a faulty YDK YV-16K24F motor in a DC39 which will instantly trip the house power as soon as it is switched on. I just purchased a new replacement motor and fitted it but, annoyingly, it still does the same. I have checked through the cable and all the way through the circuit to the motor but no evidence of any short or damage in the cabling. 240v is present at the motor.I guess its possible that the new replacement is also faulty but you would like to hope not! I was searching for a possible solution for the fault which led me to your video. Just wondering if I am missing something obvious that could be causing the motor to instantly trip the power like this? Seems an unhappy coincidence that bot motors are doing it.

[@nicholasmuller3021]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm always a bit too scared to pull things apart if I haven't seen someone else do it first. This really helped me fix my YDK motor. Thank you!

[@TheArcSet]

Thank you , particularly the replacement type was really helpful.

IMPORTANT: The Qualitex MTR299 Motor is sold in The United Kingdom. I believe this means that the MTR299 Motor runs on 220 Volts. Homes in the United States, Canada, Mexico ...ect are powered for 110 Volts.

[@beko1987]

Yes that's correct, I'm a UK channel. Different voltages require the correct motor.

Nice video, just replaced the motor, HEPA and motorfilter in my DC23 here yesterday, cleaned out about 10 years worth of fine dust from the cyclones while I had it apart.I had a look at the old motor, and based on your video I was certain the thermaloverload fuse had blown, causing the initial faliure. But no, it was fine, checked the carbons they where fine to... even the bearings where very nice, spun easily by hand.Completely at a loss on how it managed to fail in the first place. It was struggling a bit during a cleaning, and suddenly cut out and would not start after it had cooled down. New motor in bucket didn't spin at all initially, had to spin it forcibly by hand, feeling a slow decrease in friction. Ran it for a few seconds this morning and it smelled kinda toasty :-( May have to warranty it.... bad luck I guess... Kept the old one and its loose bits...

[@beko1987]

Maybe the fancase has been pressed on too tight during manufacturing? Few taps on the back of the lip might solve it, but the rma process would probably be easier!

[@nadinedevivier5556]

Does the digital motor is only on cordless dysons

[@nigelnightmare4160]

Last motor looks like the brushes are worn out. The shorter one would be causing the sparking and that would damage the commutator.

hoover master Me neither tbh. Head bloke from manchestervacs has seen a few, but they use motors by the pallett so in terms of odds that's probably understandable. My small trickle though, never had one. I had fully expected the mtr240 in this vid to have done it but it hadnt

I have old DC26 I want to fix, it shoots sparks and smell. what would you advise?

[@r.appelo5309]

Quick question: DC33, over 5 yrs old, burning smell w/ a noticeable change (slowing) of the motor. What needs to be replaced? Motor, clutch, or possibly just clutch belts?

[@beko1987]

I'd replace your motor. But to get to the motor, the clutch has to come out... Belts don't cost alot of money. I'd buy new filters too so the new motor has a good start in life 👍

[@nadinedevivier5556]

[@mick-tl5ui]

i didn't quite get what you said about removing the fan nut, did you mean you turn the nut clock wise to remove the nut?

[@davidscottkrause1]

He said it was a left-hand thread, then he tried to turn the nut clockwise to remove it, but at 5:45 he reversed the socket (without saying anything) and turned the nut counter-clockwise and it came off, so it is a normal right-hand thread.

[@shonl9743]

Can a bad bearing cause the motor to overheat so the TOC cut off the current?I changed the carbon brushes and one of the bearing wasn't spin freely,but since it wasn't seized either,i decided to leave it as it is.But after i reassembled everything and turn it on,the temperature of the motor area was very hot and after several minutes the motor shut down.So can it be due to the bearing or i may look for something else?Thanks.

[@beko1987]

The bearings won't be helping, no. The motor will be working harder to compensate for the drag. At some point randomly the bearing will overheat to the point it explodes and then you'll deffo need to fit a new one 😂

[@shonl9743]

@@beko1987 Yes,i assume that i will need to dismantle it all over again and replace the bearing.Thanks again👍

[@blindlygoing]

I have a DC05 which I've just replaced the motor on and it's back to normal. I was wondering if worn out carbon filters on the old motor would cause a popping sound, electrical burning smell and a drop in power a few seconds after switch on? Or does this just sound like that motor has died? Thanks

Regards Master! I would like to ask if the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball 1 and 2 Canister CY22 vacuum cleaners have a motor of this size and basic type, or are they different?

[@beko1987]

Hi! Ive only had a dc54 apart but the motor was similar to the other cylinder cleaners manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1904.0.html

[@ParditkaLajos]

@@beko1987 Thank you very much for your quick response master! I watched a few videos of the disassembly of the CY22, a little skeptical as if it were smaller, but I might only see it because of the new bucket engine case. For example, in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGLQo3aPo8uoqtk Unfortunately, for the CY22 parts, the engine is only available mounted in a bucket and is visible, so I thought I’d rather ask the master. I hope this machine has the "traditional" engine too, because now I could buy a faulty CY22 bearing or carbon brush cheaply. I myself have already successfully refurbished several types for my family and friends, the detailed videos of Mr. Master have been of great help to me, a thousand thanks for that. I love Dyson vacuum cleaners, but I’m aware that these are machines that require attention and maintenance. The rule is about never sucking in wet, damp dust. Never suck dirt above the mark. The canister can be knocked out and cleaned as much as possible, and once you’ve taken it to smelly ripit and cleaned it nicely, wash filters, or change it ... sometimes you a little adult lego as well. :D Sometimes an engine will obviously need to be either refurbished or completely replaced. But if you stick to all of that, you’ll thank Dyson in the meantime for really sucking with great force and no vacuuming odor. I’m a little sorry that only a few canister models have been built with a motorized head unit, although the upright versions are very good, they have drawbacks when we want to work with them in hard-to-reach places. I disagree even more that Dyson no longer makes a mains-powered model. Although a hand-held vacuum cleaner is a really good solution for certain tasks, there are very few in a carpeted apartment full of dogs and children. On the other hand, let us recognize that any battery-powered machine typically has a much more detrimental effect on the environment in its present state than it is served. Ugly business all over, scam.
